Windows 7: Startup repair menu doesn't see an operating system

Hey greg... I got another prob on repairing the windows $. Its my friend laptop. I did the same way they way u show here. But when i try to replace the partition on command prompt. Theres only one partition (0). As i remember when i type the list partition, there should be more than one partition to when i select the partition. Do u know how to fixe that?

Do u know the 3 times on startup repair with reboots. After that we have go to the command prompt to do the diskpart. And select disk #. that laptop windows just only have 0 partition. So no partition that i can replace. Do u know what im saying?

The windows is not listed when i try to repairing using the repairing disk.

In case the Diskpart is the problem you might want to boot free Partition Wizard bootable CD to mark Active the Win7 partition or its 100 mb System Reserved partition (preferred if you have it). If you do this, then click the Disk # to highlight it, from Disk tab select Rebuild MBR, Apply, reboot. This may preclude the need to run Repairs.

Ok. Do u remember about the bootmngr is missing when the start up. So itried to ur method on the forum. I did repeatedly three time with reboot. And do the diskpart. And after that startup repair again till three time after reboot. But its still the same. Cant be done. Still on the black screen and mesgs said that i have to put in the recovery disk to do the repair... U know that right if been repair, the windows 7 should be listed on repair system...

I all ready gave it back my friend's laptop. Ill let him know.... Thanks man... Really apprecite that. I think i have try bootrec before. As i remember its seems like nothing after bootrec.
A question for u. Are ya working at some IT company????
